Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE) is a surgical procedure employed in male infertility cases where sperm retrieval from the testicles is necessary. During TESE, a small tissue sample is extracted from the testicles, and the contained sperm is subsequently used for assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). This procedure is particularly relevant for individuals with obstructive azoospermia or non-obstructive azoospermia, conditions where sperm production or transport is impaired. TESE bypasses these obstacles by directly obtaining sperm from the testicular tissue. The retrieved sperm can be crucial for couples facing challenges in conceiving naturally.
